A tasty Thai tidbit

My mother-in-law used to say when finishing something she liked, that it was “a tasty tidbit”, something her sister said. Today for lunch, my husband and I stopped at a Thai restaurant that we enjoy. Lunch is a good meal to eat out, as price are usually a bit cheaper and you get more than just an entree. The lunch specials (Monday-Friday only) here included soup, salad, and a choice from among potstickers, a fried tofu, and and egg roll and your choice of veggie/tofu/chicken/beef.

As we’re being assaulted by some winter cold which has arrived before it’s appointed time, it was a great day for soup and the special soup for Friday, a coconut soup, was one of the best soups we’ve ever had. It had onions, mushrooms and a few other things but the flavor was what made it special.

I alternated between soup and the crisp salad, using chopsticks, of course.

The entree I chose was:

Spicy Basil Noodles with Vegetable or Tofu

What’s not shown here is the one pepper sign, which means (in addition to the name), that the dish is spicy. To my husband, it would be merely tasty, but it hovers at the edge of my comfort level. I chose tofu and when the dish arrived, removed the sliced jalapenos. I love rice noodles and this has the wide ones under all the veggies and tofu. My two yummy potstickers can be seen in the bottom left-hand corner.

We left The Bangkok Village full and happy, not a bad thing for a chilly Friday! Or for any other day, for that matter. And it was definitely a tasty tidbit!

My favorite cuisine (and that’s saying something) is Thai. When we visit Taiwan, we often go for Thai there because they love it too! Those coconut milk, lime, fish sauce flavored soups are some of the best things on earth! YUMMMMM.
